Mark Heidemann is back in his role as director with THE CHALK GARDEN by Enid Bagnold. Because the wealthy Mrs. St. Maugham needs help raising both her garden and her granddaughter, Laurel, she hires a secretive but green-thumbed governess named Madrigal to care for the angst-ridden teenager. When Laurel unearths Madrigal’s mysterious past, the butler Maitland persuades the youngster not to tell what she’s discovered.
LOVE LETTERS by A.R. Gurney is a funny and emotional portrait of the powerful connection of love. Two friends, rebellious Melissa Gardner and straight-arrow Andrew Makepeace Ladd III have exchanged notes, cards and letters with each other for over 50 years. From second grade, to college, and well into adulthood, they have spent a lifetime discussing their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments… But long after the letters are done, the real question remains: after all their letters have they made the right choices?
BLITHE SPIRIT, the classic farce by Noël Coward, was first produced and published in 1941 and is often regarded as Coward’s best work. This play about a man whose domestic life is disturbed by the jealous ghost of his first wife showcases Coward’s humor at its finest. A combination drawing-room comedy and ghost story, complete with an eccentric medium, seance, past love, resentment and desire… BLITHE SPIRIT is quintessential Coward! Not to mention ghostly fun. So gaze into your own crystal ball and make a plan for BLITHE SPIRIT October 2024.
